Looking ba-a-ack over my life I can see where i caused you strife But i know, oh yes i know I'd never make that same mistake again Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds I can see signs a wise man heeds And if i just ha-ad the chance I'd never make that same mistake again Once my cup was overflowing But i gave nothing in retu-u-urn Now i can't begin to te-ell you What a lesson i have learned Looking ba-a-ack over the slate I can see love turned to hate But i know, oh yes i know I'd never make that same mistake again
